Hi guys, I've been tring to get an IR LED to work with LIRC for a while now but just cant get it to work. I'm a bit of a noob with linux, so bear with me.... (using 5.05 desktop image) I have been able to get a receiver working thanks to the stickied tutorial. Although only when running lircd manually with driver and device options, I've setup hardware.conf but i think the /etc/init.d/lirc script overrides that. Anyway its the sending using gpio that i need and the closest i've come is with the LIRC GPIO kernel module from here. As it compiles, loads and shows that the gpio pin has been allocated using:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
GPIOs 0-383, platform/sunxi-pinctrl, sunxi-pinctrl:
gpio-15 (red_led ) out hi
gpio-16 (? ) out lo
gpio-18 (gpio_remoteIRQ ) out lo
gpio-354 (? ) out hi
gpio-362 (green_led ) out lo
And when I run lircd manually with the new /dev/lirc1 device i can run irsend commands (no error saying it doesn't support it) but it's not activating the led (have tested with ir and white leds) any ideas?? Thanks Jungle
